Yates takes her to the French restaurant where they are sitting in a romantic ambiance.
Shirley feels so restless because it’s the first time that she is in this kind of restaurant with a man.
Yates is free like fish is in water instead, which implies that he often comes to this kind of high-class place.
By contrast, she is incompatible with it. Thinking about the words Mack says, she suddenly doesn’t think that she deserves to be together with Yates.
“Are you out of sorts?” Yates stops eating and asks.
Shirley shakes her head and tries to be natural, “Nothing. Just a little bit curious. Why you take me here?”
“You don’t like it?” said Yates with a frown. Mack tells him that girls all like French restaurants.
Because every time Mack takes Karen here, Karen is super delighted.
Shirley nods, and really dislikes this place.
The food her mother cooks is better than its. It just has a good appearance.
Finishing eating, Yates sends her back to school.
No sooner than Shirley goes into he dorm, Karen comes over and pulls down her to the chair, gazing at her as if a laser.
“Dated with Yates?”
Shirley turns red immediately and nods lightly.
Karen is excited, “Have you been hand in hand? Kisses? Hugged? Or had sex?”
Shirley blushes scarlet, “Nope, we just had a meal. That’s all.”
“Is this the present he gives you?” Karen takes the box from Shirley and opens it quickly, “Wow! It is the MontBlanc’s Celebrities pen!”
Shirley gets the pen back hurriedly and holds it in hand.
Karen envies her, “Shirley, you know how much is the pen in your hand?”
Shirley shakes her head, “Have no idea. I will cherish it regardless of its price.”
Karen is furious, scratching her hair, and says helplessly, “You country bumpkin! It costs at least ten thousands. Just starting out, he sends you so expensive present. How lucky you’re.”
Facing Karen who is about to be crazy, she even doesn’t know what to say.
“Oh no. Mack should buy things like that for me!” Karen goes back to her bed and takes her phone, texting Mack.
Shirley hides the pen in the cabinet, feeling so restless.
Yates just sends her expensive gift like that so easily, which enlarges the gap between them.
She logs in the Arena of Valor. Seeing Sparkler online, she can’t wait to send him messages.
She shoots, “Sparkler, I have a question for you.”
Sparkler replies, “What question?”
Shirley asks, “If two people are so different in many aspects, can they be together in the end?”
Yates watches the screen and suddenly realizes why she was so absent-minded before.
It is their background that she worries a lot.
He types some words to her.
Sparkler reads, “If they really love each other, nothing can stop them.”
Shirley replies, “But… Someone told me that there is no Cinderella’ story.”
He responds, “Why you want to be Cinderella? You can be the queen.”
She loses in thought for a long time and she finally figures out what he means.
Lacking self-confidence, she thinks Yates is so perfect at first. And it’s challenging for her to go after him, she just views Yates as her goal.
Nevertheless, she doesn’t figure out how to face him carefully if she makes it.
